Windows Live Communications Server
Have you guys ever tried this? This ain't free, right? :P
I'm looking for an Instant Messaging solution/program that integrates with AD, Exchange.
Do you know if there are other types of similar programs? Hint: Freeware

The best free stuff I was able to find was an ICQ GroupWare server that was buggy and designed for Win NT 4.0. It ran on 2003 but was needing to be restarted almost every other day.

Just found out about Openfire Server. Will gather more info if this is doable or the same as LCS/OCS.Focused and Steady. -

Recent: 11/2019 - RHCSA (RHEL 7); 2/2019 - Updated VCP to 6.5 (just a few days before VMware discontinued the re-cert policy...)
Working on: RHCE/Ansible
Future: Probably continued Red Hat Immersion, Possibly VCAP Design, or maybe a completely different path. Depends on job demands... -
